Welcome in!
Here's the view from the door! |
 |
 |
The writing table- you'll get to
work here during Daily Five and
Writing Workshop if you
wish! The green box holds story starters, the white drawers
have sight words, fancy papers, and spelling helpers. The
purple box on top holds fun writing utensils! Inside the
red box is a special stamp that will get stamped into your
writing notebook each day during writing workshop! |
This is where you will meet with me
during Daily Five or Writing Workshop. I'll use our easel
for lots of lessons! |
 |
 |
These are books and supplies we'll
use during Daily Five and Writing Workshop. |
This is our
calendar area. You
will get to be the leader on your snack day. We talk about
the days of the week, tell time, count money, graph weather,
and you'll even get to have a "brain bender" with our place
value chart! |
|
 |
This shelf has math games, things to do if you finish early, and a shelf of
games and toys for free choice on Friday and indoor recess! |
This is where we'll have our class
meeting each day! We will sit in a circle to greet each
other, do a fun activity, and then you'll go to your spot on
the rug for a reading/writing mini-lesson! |
 |
 |
These are our free choice minutes!
Someone in your group will have a basket on the side of
their desk, just like this! Your group will have the chance
to earn these during the week and then redeem them on Friday
for play-time in the classroom! You can earn them for good
group choices... but you can lose them too! |
This is part of our
classroom
library. We have hundreds of books to choose from! |
 |
 |
More of our library! |
The colorful buckets hold our
"word work" activites for Daily Five! |
|
 |
Here's what it looks like behind MY
desk! |
Here are our "buckets" for
bucket
filling! We will learn how to be "bucket fillers" and will
check our "buckets" each Friday! |
|
|
The bucket filling book and a
bucket full of bucket filler cards (what a tongue twister!)
hangs next to the buckets! |
Here's the beautiful bookcase my
friend, Meredith, painted for us! We are so lucky to have
something so cool in our classroom! |
 |
 |
This is our listening area. You
will use these things during Daily Five. |
Yee-Haw!
Happy Birthday, Pardner!

This is our "Star Effort" board.
Whenever someone gives a "Star Effort", I will display their
good work here! |
Here's where you'll check out Thursday Book Bags! I've
made five new ones for the 2011-2012 school year and can't
wait to show them to you! |
|
|
This is our "Howdy Helpers" job board. You'll have a
job each week to help keep our classroom running smoothly! |
